Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 318, check with United Airlines.
UA 318 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about 40 minutes behind schedule. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival right on schedule.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so UA 318 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 49 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. On-time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the same threshold the Department of Transportation uses in its own reports. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and counted separately, which is why the cancellation column matters on its own.
Schedule
When UA 318 flies
UA 318 is scheduled to leave Denver (DEN) at 11:15 local time and reach Eugene (EUG) at 13:07. That slot held for 340 of the 364 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 11:15 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 318 runs 6 points worse at 72.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.
Against the route
UA 318 next to DEN to EUG
Every carrier on DEN to EUG combined arrived on time 73.5% of the time across 1,272 flights, so UA 318 is about level with it. United flew 728 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 72.1% on time. Across its whole network United Airlines managed 79.0%, which this flight trails by 6 points.

Across the year
UA 318 quarter by quarter
UA 318 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 77.3% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 64.8%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 91 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights72.8%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights76.1%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights77.3%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights64.8%
Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 318 did best on Tuesday at 84.9% on time and worst on Wednesday at 58.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 318 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 4,023 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%National Airspace System
- 29%Carrier
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 4,023 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 39 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 4,023 delay minutes reported on UA 318.
Cancellations are rare at 0.27%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 40 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 996 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including MSY to DEN (37), MIA to DEN (31) and RSW to DEN (30), but none flew often enough under UA 318 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to EUG only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking UA 318
For a booking, read UA 318 as 72.7% on time with 0.27% cancelled over 364 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
